Functional Block Diagram Regulator Band-gap Reference V REF + Current Mirror and Control Circuit Figure 7. Functional Block Diagram Applications Information The is a high voltage, low dropout current regulator for output current up to 600mA in maximum. The pin is used for enabling/disabling the output stage of the chip. The current can be linearly adjusted through a variable resister connected to the pin, or by a PWM control signal via the pin. Although the absolute maximum rating of the pin is 75V, the dropout voltage between the pin and the pin should not be too large when the current is sinking because the thermal dissipation capability of the package is limited. Here are some of the typical application examples: DC Voltage Input As shown in Figure 8, any DC voltage between 5V and 50V can be adopted as power source V DD for typical application of as long as the voltage between the pin and the pin (V DD voltage minus the total forward voltage drop of the LED string) is larger than the dropout voltage needed for that expecting current. If 50V ~ 75V voltage is adopted as the power source to the positive end of the LED string, one Zener shunt regulator can be used to provide appropriate voltage to the pin, as shown in Figure 9. <50V DC >50V DC R Z C IN C IN D Z R SET1 R SET1 R SET2 880Ω R SET2 880Ω Figure 8. DC Voltage Input Application (<50V DC ) Figure 9. DC Voltage Input Application (>50V DC ) 6/11
Applications Information (Continued) If a ceramic capacitor is selected as the input capacitor, C IN, without any electrolytic capacitor connected in parallel, sometimes there may be high voltage spike on the input voltage line when V IN is switching on or off in the testing stage or the mass production stage. The peak of the voltage spike may be higher than 50V (supply voltage range of the pin) even when the normal V IN level is much less than 50V. An RC filter, R IN and C IN2, is recommended at the pin in order to prevent the voltage spike from damaging the pin, as shown in the following circuit diagram. V IN R IN C IN1 C IN2 R SET CO Figure 10. DC Voltage Input Application with Ceramic Input Capacitor Output Capacitance Figure 10 shows the application schematic where an output capacitor, C O, is added to the circuit. LED AC impedances can vary widely and in some applications a 10uF capacitor is required between the pin and ground to avoid oscillation in the current control circuit. It is recommended that an output capacitor be included in all designs as a De-Populate and if testing finds oscillation in the drive current, the capacitor may then be populated. If the pin is used to turn off the LEDs, the pin voltage will rise to the V IN voltage, so the voltage rating of the capacitor must take this into consideration. When derating ceramic capacitors based on the DC bias, use the voltage on the pin when the LEDs are on. This voltage is usually <1V which results in little derating. LED Backlight Solution can coordinate with any type of DC-to-DC converter through a feedback path to realized LED backlight module. The number of LEDs in the string is variable even with certain fixed power source since the output voltage of the DC-to-DC converter can be modulated according to the feedback signal. 12VDC or 24V DC DC / DC Converter Output FB Db Rb RSET1 RSET2 880Ω Figure 11.

Applications Information (Continued) AC Voltage Input can work with any kind of well-known or well-developed switch-mode power supply system. Simply cut off the internal feedback path of the power supply system and then feed the signal from back to the power supply system instead. 85V AC ~ 265V AC Power Supply FB V DD R b D b R SET1 R SET2 880Ω Figure 12. AC Voltage Application Thermal Consideration The maximum power dissipation for a single-output regulator is: P D(MAX) = (V IN(MAX) V F(NOM) ) x I (NOM) + V IN(MAX) x I Q = V (MAX) x I (NOM) + V IN(MAX) x I Q Where, V F(NOM) = the nominal LED total forward voltage I (NOM) = the nominal output current = the nominal LED current I Q = the quiescent current of the regulator V IN(MAX) = the maximum input voltage V (MAX) = the maximum voltage drop between pin and pin Then, θ JA = (150 C T A )/P D 8/11
Applications Information (Continued) Thermal Calculation The has an internal power and thermal limiting circuitry designed to protect the device under overload conditions. However, maximum junction temperature ratings should not be exceeded under continuous normal load conditions. The thermal protection circuit of the prevents the device from damage due to excessive power dissipation. When the device junction temperature rises to approximately 150 C, the regulator will be turned off. When the power consumption is over about 1000mW (TO-252 package, at T A = 70 C), an additional heat sink is required to control the junction temperature below 125 C. The junction temperature is: T J = P D (θ JT +θ CS +θ SA ) + T A P D : dissipated power θ JT : thermal resistance from the junction to the mounting tab of the package For TO-252 package, θ JT = 7.0 C/W θ CS : thermal resistance through the interface between the IC and the surface on which it is mounted (typically, θ CS < 1.0 C /W) θ SA : thermal resistance from the mounting surface to ambient (thermal resistance of the heat sink) If a PC Board copper is going to be used as a heat sink, below table can be used to determine the appropriate size of copper foil required. For multi-layered PCB, these layers can also be used as a heat sink. They can be connected with several through-hole vias.
